    I have a 1 year old white boxer and she is gorgeous, and the most loving, even-tempered dog I have ever come across. She is certainly not deaf (except when she wants to be!) and the thought that she could have been put down simply because of her colour doesn't bear thinking about. Her tail is docked because it was done before we took her home (8 weeks) and it was no preference of ours. Her 'nub' is about 3.5 inches long and she expresses herself with this - it's is always wagging! We would love to get another Boxer in the future and understand that when we do it will have a tail. This makes absolutely no difference to our opinion of a dog and I can't understand why someone would reject a dog for having a tail. The OP makes me so mad :mad:
